19 May 2021 - Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) went viral on social media after she brought back her signature whiteboard during a Tuesday committee hearing in which she grilled drugmaker AbbVie’s CEO on allegations that the company has inflated drug prices.
During the House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing, Porter pressed AbbVie CEO Richard Gonzalez to confirm the company spends far less on research and development in comparison to stocks and dividends to increase the earnings of shareholders.
